Controversy

In 2016, hundreds of parents and several instructors staged a multi-day protest outside the school due to differences with the administration. This led to the school being closed for one week. There were claims that the school's British director had insulted many Indian freedom fighters and did not allow the children to sing the National anthem. In addition, there were claims that the school director harassed teachers and students. The school would also not allow children to bring their own lunches until they got a order from the Madras High Court but parents still claim that the school discriminates against students bringing their own food instead of using the onsite caterer, Sodexo.[3][4]

Some teachers on the other hand defended the schools' leadership, citing cultural differences which may have led to misunderstandings or misinterpretations.

The school reopened after assurances had been given pending an investigation.

In 2017, CBSE disaffiliated the school, and now only the IB section remains.[5]
